Recenty we had the stunt of the plane towing a White Lives Matter, Burnley over Burnley's football stadium just after the players and officials 'took the knee'.
This was described as a Racially aggravated offence and the police investigated. In the end they stated no offence had been committed. But it didn't end there. His employers fired him. Worse still, his girlfriend was fired from her job, too. And to round off this sorry saga about an event that took place over 4,000 miles away in a wholly foreign jurisdiction, we have the voice of Cambridge University. Cambridge isn't famous for it's defence of diverse views...
Cambridge University has rescinded its offer of a visiting fellowship to Jordan Peterson, the self-styled “professor against political correctness”, after a backlash from faculty and students.

Noah Carl, a young conservative scholar who was targeted by an outrage mob after getting a research fellowship at St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge. After an “open letter” was circulated by a group of activist academics last December describing Noah’s work as “racist pseudoscience” and calling for an “investigation” into his appointment, we ran an editorial denouncing this witch-hunt.

See the pattern? Wrongthinking academics have the mob coming for them. But Cambridge will defend its own far-left voices, even when they are racist:
On June 22nd, Professor Priyamvada Gopal had tweeted “I’ll say it again. White Lives Don’t Matter.
The tweet prompted a considerable public backlash, with a petition for the University of Cambridge to fire her for the “racist and hateful” statement “in the best interest of all students and the community at large” having topped 15,000 signatures as of the time of publication.
However, the university stood behind Professor Gopal, claiming that it “defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions which others might find controversial” — and indeed went on to portray the professor as the victim in the situation, adding that it “deplores in the strongest terms abuse and personal attacks”, branding them “totally unacceptable” and demanding they “must cease.”
Shortly afterwards Professor Gopal, who was briefly suspended by Twitter for her tweets, bragged to her followers that not only had the tech giant reinstated her, but that she was “delighted to share with you personally, that last night Cambridge promoted me to a full Professorship.”
She added, moreover, that “I stand by my tweets, now deleted by Twitter, not me,” offering no apology of any kind.
Commentators such as Douglas Murray, author of The Strange Death of Europe, scorned Cambridge University’s claim that it “defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions which others might find controversial” — with the university having previously cut ties with academics such as Dr Jordan Peterson and Dr Noah Carl after receiving a relatively small number of complaints from left-wing agitators.
“Nope. Nobody believes that,” tweeted Murray in response to the university’s claim to be a defender of controversial opinions.
“We remember the cases of Noah Carl and Jordan Peterson. Your institution dropped them in 2 secs once the mob came for them. But it’s interesting you’re standing up for someone who actually is a race-baiter this time,”
The decision of Cambridge University and, seemingly, Cambridgeshire Constabulary, not to punish Professor Gopal — indeed, to promote her, if her tweet is to be taken at face value — has proved particularly controversial at the present time, coming as it does after Burnley Football Club fan Jake Hepple was visited by police and fired by his employer for flying a banner saying “White Lives Matter” over an Ethiad Statement match after three white people were stabbed to death in a suspected terror attack in Reading.
Mr Hepple’s girlfriend, too, was raked over the coals in the mainstream media and fired from her job after declining what her employer described as “Intensive Racial Sensitivity training”.

“Intensive Racial Sensitivity training”.
That's Political Re-education or else - no matter how loosely you might be related.
